Summary
This week I'm talking about Moses's warning in Deuteronomy: beware lest thou forget the Lord. As the Israelites prepared to enter the promised land, the danger wasn't just hardship — it was comfort. It was receiving blessings and then forgetting where they came from.
I share thoughts about putting the word of God in our hearts, letting the Lord soften and heal us, remembering His hand in our lives, and opening our hands wide to bless others. When we choose God, serve His children, and remember Him in both our wilderness and our promised lands, He helps us make it home.

| 1:05.2 | bigger than the normal ones I have. So I folded this crane and kind of passed it up to this little boy |
